Camouflaging a scar, burn or birth defect

Yes, most patients get 50-80% growth in the scar which is enough to adequately camouflage the scar’s appearance.

Is everyone a candidate?

Not everyone is a candidate for this type of procedure. If the scar is not vascular, hair follicles will not survive due to diminished blood supply beneath the surface of the skin. The scar may be too wide and deep for hair restoration to be successful. A consultation is the only way to determine whether or not this type of scar correction is right for you.

How is the post-procedure aftercare?

We Grow Hair provides comprehensive post-procedure care and support from their medical team.

How long is the procedure?

Unlike a regular hair transplant, an FUE scar correction is relatively short taking approximately one hour.

Is there a chance surgical correction will not be a success?

In rare cases where there is no improvement in the scar’s appearance, we can use FUE to harvest the hair, eliminating a linear scar altogether, and implant harvested hair follicles directly into the scar. This alternative procedure would be done at a discount.

Is SMP a permanent solution?

SMP is a semi-permanent solution as it begins to fade after approximately 10 years.
